Apple Crumble is my favorite dessert from Big Chill. And all the recipes I found online had oats in them. I hate oats. So I used my head and tried to replicate the wonder that Big Chill created.
It tasted pretty okay, I got the nice crumbly brown color on top that I wanted, so that made me pretty happy.
The apples were soft and smelled and tasted slightly of cinnamon. The crumble was doughy from the bottom, and crumbly from the top.
Really simple also, as always.
Ingredients -
2 apples
Cinnamon Powder, lots of it. Or not. Depending on how much you love cinnamon. [ i LOVE cinnamon]
Sugar - 1/2 cup granulated, 1/2 cup castor
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup maida.
1/2 cup butter [ at room temperature]
Peel the apples and slice them as thin as you can. Mix 1/2 cup castor sugar + cinnamon powder + lemon juice to apples. Let it sit for 2 mins.
For the crumble - Mix the granulated sugar, maida and butter with your hands. Till it becomes crumbly. This is not a dough, which is why we use butter at room temperature and not melted butter.
Grease a cake tin. Or any tin. I used a tart tin with a detachable bottom. Line the bottom of the tin with your apples, and then put an even layer of the crumble over the apples.
Pop into the oven at 170 for 20 mins.
When the top starts to brown, turn the temperature down to 100 and cook for another 15 minutes.
Take out.
Serve with fresh cream. Serve hot.
